The 2016 MLB Postseason starts on Tuesday night. October is the best time of year because it's the best 5 teams in each league battling to make the "Fall Classic". Here is my preview of the AL & NL Wildcard games.

AL Wildcard Game- Orioles vs. Blue Jays

Orioles- A team that battled to the last day got in the 2nd wildcard spot. Baltimore has the potential to go to the Rogers Centre and beat the Blue Jays. It's going to need to start with pitching. The offense is going to need to supply the pitching with run support. Guys like Manny Machado, Chris Davis, and Adam Jones need to step up for them.

Blue Jays

Just like the Orioles, it came down to the final day for them to clinch a playoff spot. Toronto is hosting the wildcard game so they get to play in front of there home crowd. The Roger Centre will be electric on Tuesday night. Russell Martin, Josh Donaldson, and Jose Bautista are all going to need to have good games to move onto the ALDS.

NL Wildcard Game- SF Giants vs New York Mets

SF Giants- The Giants struggled in the month of September but turned it around and now are in the 2nd wildcard spot. The offense needs to step up and supply the pitching with run support. Madison Bumgarner is going to need to pitch a great game to move onto the next round.

Mets- The Mets are hosting the Wildcard game. Noah Syndergaard is going to have to pitch a great game because the Mets offense isn't going to get a lot of runs off of Madison Bumgarner. Yoenis Cespedes is going to need to need to have a good game offensively for the Mets to move on.
